The perfect name

When you find out you're expecting, choosing the perfect name can feel like a monumental task. I wanted a name that was beautiful and sophisticated that could grow with our baby girl as she got older. A name that sounds adorable as an infant, but also respectable as an adult. When I was pregnant with my son, we were able to choose his first name the very same day we found out he was a boy. This time around it took us a little longer, ok actually a lot longer, to agree and find a name we both loved.

I scoured baby name sites and tried to seek inspiration from family and friends but one name just kept coming back to me and I knew it was the one. My husband on the other hand needed a little more convincing, so I kept giving him other options. After about a week or two of this he said, "You know what, I actually think I like this name best..." and I was so happy because I absolutely love the name we chose. We have yet to decide on her middle name, but our baby girl's first name will be Addison. I am in love with her name and can't wait to meet our sweet girl. How did you choose your baby's name?

What a lovely name. I think it checks all the boxes you wanted. It IS beautiful and sophisticated. My husband and I deliberated on our son's name for six months. I wrote lists that we would then rank separately. The same name appeared on our list time and time again and we ended up choosing it a few weeks before he was born. It suited him perfectly. Our daughter's name was a simple decision as she was named after someone, but her middle name was difficult! When are you due?

Thank you! I am actually due December 21st and am so excited. :) I'm not sure why choosing our son's name was so much easier but this time around it was defnitely hard. We still haven't chosen a middle name either so I'm trying to figure that part out. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Our Love Story

My husband and I met six years ago by chance when he happened to stop by my work to visit one of my co-workers. He made me laugh and we hit it off instantly. We fell head over heels in love and the rest is history! We've had our share of ups and downs but there's no one else on earth I want to spend the rest of my life with. In January 2013 we welcomed our first baby boy, Jeremiah Elijah into our lives & our hearts. I love my little family so very much.♥
